• We very much encourage all candidates to interview in person so that we can show you our office space and introduce you to our unique culture. That said, we understand that scheduling and logistical constraints may mean that an in-person interview is not feasible and we will be pleased to arrange virtual meetings for those candidates.
• During your callback, you will meet with three partners, followed by a meal with associates. We will solicit your practice area interests in advance of your callback and will do our best to match you with lawyers who work in those areas.
